| Knee Extension Dynasplint | Device | Dynamic Splinting utilizes the protocols of Low-Load, Prolonged-Duration Stretch (LLPS) with calibrated, adjustable tension to increase the Total End Range Time (TERT) to reduce contracture. The Knee Extension Dynasplint for the Experimental group will have tension chambers delivering therapeutic treatment from the device. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Maximal Acitive Range of Mothion in knee extension | 9 weeks |
